[Verse 1]
Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
What do I see across the way, hey
See myself molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah I'm afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, aw yeah
[Verse 2]
Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair
Little boy made a mistake
Pink cloud has now turned to gray, oh
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees, time to pray, oh
[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
Lost my mind, yeah
Can't find it anywhere
[Verse 3]
Corporate prison, we stay
I'm a dull boy, work all day
So I'm strung out anyway
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
Saw my reflection and cried
So little hope that I died, oh
Feed me your lies, open wide
Weight of my heart, not the size, oh
[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
Lost my mind, yeah
Can't find it anywhere
[Outro]
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees time to pray, boy
Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
What do I see across the way, hey
See myself molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah I'm afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, aw yeah
[Verse 2]
Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair
Little boy made a mistake
Pink cloud has now turned to gray, oh
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees, time to pray, oh
[Chorus]
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
Lost my mind, yeah
Can't find it anywhere
[Verse 3]

I don't mind, yeah
Lost my mind, yeah

Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees time to pray, boy
